.canoe americana?

we are busy beyond belief over here. even the nights that we don't have anything scheduled turn out to be full. tonight is one of those, although one could argue that there was something scheduled on the calendar: maasen's last game of the regular season. after torrential rains the night before, the field cleared out and the double header was on.

(i realize this is a baseball field...)

i love going to games for several reasons:

1) maas is my gal and i like supporting her

2) maas is my gal and i like to see her in her element (she's kind of a big deal with those girls)

3) it's my alma mater
4) it's outside

5) i get to show off my adorable children

6) i get to spoil my adorable children (don't tell tom)

the huskies went 1-1 tonight, which was a nice little ending for them, although we left before they actually won the second game. we also got to see maas's mom and brother, double bonus. it is strange to talk with them since they are both "maasens" but i call her "maasen" and they call her "ang" or "angela". i found myself switching over to ang for the sake of being on the same page. we also got to interact a little bit with her friend coach b and some of the players. i got a little caught up in the game so i hope i was encouraging and the look of sadness (they lost the first game 7-1) wasn't too apparent when i saw them.

i'm hoping to get out to their regional game next week where they will upset whatever team they play and continue on to win the state title... a girl can dream, can't she?!

here the kids are talking with their favorite coach. this was taken at the last game we went to when cass bit it on the concrete ramp pretty badly. christy the trainer, the woman in the left of the picture, helped out and gave her a band-aid. she tried to give her some cool purple wrap but cass was beside herself with the injury. the scrape has healed and has since been replaced by other ouchies.
